/Art in The RoostA sense of place

Every few months we invite a different artist to exhibit their work in The Roost, our unofficial exhibition space for North Devon artists here at Bray Leino.

The North Devon moors, coasts and valleys permeate almost every aspect of our new resident artist’s work.

Acclaimed North Devon ceramicist Sue Rossiter uses local earths and muds to make slips, glazes and paints. These go into creating striking panels, paintings and sculptures that combine traditional craft techniques like winding, weaving and spinning.

We like her because she’s clearly just as inspired by our location as we are. Her collection, currently residing in The Roost, is called, ‘A Sense of Place’.

"I am delighted to be exhibiting in The Roost," she said. "It's a wonderful light space which beautifully highlights the lovely, earthy organic colours in the pieces, providing the perfect backdrop for my work. It's great to see Bray Leino championing local artists in this pioneering way."
